Working with a MapPoint control in MS Access (2003)

[Doug]

Hi,

I've just installed MapPoint 2009 Trial and have had a bit of play with it
on its own - maybe like the sound of 2010 version a bit more to be honest but
it'll do for now.

I've already used mappoint to plot a load of UK postcodes and some stats for
them & their postcode sectors which is really all I need it to do for my
purposes. That said, the data I'm reporting on is in an Access query.

I can drop a mappoint control in to an access form & get it to show the
european map by doing this:

Private Sub Form_Load()
MappointControl0.NewMap geoMapEurope
End Sub

Then I get a bit stuck. I have been reading the help files, but don't quite
get how I then use a query in the database as my dataset. My control is
called 'mappointcontrol0' and the query I want to use is called 'qry_1c_Data'
and I've already set it as the datasource for the form....

I don't necessarily need to see code examples, but I'd really appreciate a
brief summary of how I set the datasource and go on to show the data as say
pins on a map...

Many thanks for any help. The help in the help files IS good, it just
doesn't seem to reflect what I want precisely at the moment.
